Hillsboro city council members chose Tuesday to help new residents establish an addition to their home, approving the sale of a lot of bare land at 206 Willow Glen Ln. to Gary and Connie Beavers, who recently moved to Hillsboro for retirement.

The Beavers already put $3,000 down on the property, located next to their home, but city administrator Larry Paine said he was not comfortable selling unless there was a commitment to building housing.

Gary Beaver emphasized he would rather use the land for recreation, beside the fact it would take a large amount of soil to make building a home possible.

“We’ve got grandkids, and we’d rather use the space to play volleyball or something,” Beavers said.

In other business:

Because of new ownership, council members passed a cereal malt beverage license for El Lorita, also known as La Cabana.

Presentation of the airport master plan and board appointments were delayed until the July 1 meeting.

Council members met in closed session for 30 minutes. No action was taken upon return to open session.

City administrator Larry Paine said the Hillsboro Youth Adventure would run today from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The 13 participants signed up doubles last year’s group and includes students from Durham and Lehigh.
